Nevermind, I got it working and am now typing this using the Linux Mint machine

Sorry for bothering, although I've been keeping an eye out for Linux distributions this is the first one I've actually tried, so I'm a bit new with all this. I got it working using ndiswrapper and following the guide in your wiki. Thanks to whoever wrote that thing, it was very easy to follow. Made me feel really proud to be able to configure it "all by myself".

Yes, there are a lot of great people here. And there is nothing like the feeling of accomplishment. One thing that I will ask, is please add "SOLVED" to the subject line of your original post. That way, when others search, they can read of how you succeeded.
